If you’ve submitted your application to Â鶹µ¼º½â€“ congratulations! We’re looking forward to learning more about you.
While you wait for your admissions decision, you can get a head start on deciding whether Â鶹µ¼º½is the right place for you by joining us for a campus tour.
You can find lots of great info and photos about what it’s like to be a Â鶹µ¼º½student on Ìý²¹²Ô»å , but there’s really no substitute for connecting with some of our current students and having them share their knowledge and experiences with you. Our students are excited to show you their favourite spaces on campus, and to answer your questions about life and learning at UBC.

Also, if you are in Kelowna and are unable to attend one of our scheduled in-person campus tours, the staff at the Student Recruitment desk (UNC222) in the University Centre would be happy to provide you with a Self-Guided Walking Tour handout for the Okanagan campus.
